The House of Representatives recognizes World Oceans Day, celebrating the ocean's vital role in the history, heritage, economy, security, and future prosperity of the United States. It honors the diverse contributions of American fishermen, mariners, members of the Armed Forces, scientists, explorers, shipbuilders, port workers, indigenous communities, and coastal communities. These groups have collectively shaped the nation's maritime leadership and economic strength, contributing to millions of jobs and trillions of dollars annually to the U.S. economy. The resolution specifically acknowledges the 50th anniversary of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act , a landmark law that strengthened American fisheries, supported coastal economies, and ensured long-term stewardship of seafood resources. It also recognizes the 20th anniversary of the Marine Debris Program , highlighting bipartisan efforts like the Save Our Seas Act of 2018 to reduce marine debris and protect coastal environments. Through these recognitions, the resolution reaffirms the United States' commitment to advancing maritime leadership, ocean exploration, scientific discovery, economic opportunity, and responsible stewardship of ocean resources for future generations.
